Photography Composition - Leading Lines

2010-06-28T20:34:00.011+08:00

The line that leads your eye in to the picture area easily like a road or fence, a shoreline or river, a row of trees or a pathway. A successful Leading Line will lead your eye in to the picture and take it right to the Main Subject or Center of Interest

An UN-Successful Leading Line will take the eye in to the picture but will ZOOM the eye right OUT of the picture if there is no Stopper to hold the eye in the picture frame; such as a tree, house or other large object on the right hand side of the picture frame which will STOP the eye from going out of the picture. The Center of Interest or Main Subject will act as a Stopper and hold the eye in the picture frame.

The best Leading Lines will start at the Lower Left area of the picture frame but not in the exact corner. Again, the eye likes to enter a picture frame at this point and the Leading Line will help it get in to the picture easily and swiftly.

Bukit Tinggi is just over an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur City centre and lies some 2,500 feet above sea level.

Colmar Tropicale, located in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang, is a replica of a collection of buildings from a north-eastern village in France dating back to the 16th Century. It's just like a picture postcard. The French themed resort was opened in July 2000. It's surrounded by lush tropical forest land. Just RM 16 for adults and RM 8 for children below twelve, you can enjoy the various entertainment at Colmar Tropicale. A clock tower at the entrance welcomes the visitors. You need to walk up (and down) curvy concrete staircases to view the entire development.

The theme hotel is made up of eight blocks of architectural wonder, each with its unique style, from its colourful roof tiles to cobblestone ground. The hotel has several outlets, where you can dine in the French way. Central to the village is Colmar Square where the aroma of the blooms will tantalise your senses. There are fountains and park benches in the square for relaxation after a hard day's work browsing in the 17 theme shops, or should one wish to take a breather from participating in the various activities. The drawbridge reminiscent of ancient castles, clock tower with an original cuckoo bird clock, and the viewing tower complements the ambience.

Live bands and snake performances entertain the visitors on a stage. A clown juggles balls and pins, rides on his cycle, hops around playing tricks and acting merry. Authentic French food is served from sidewalk cafes and restaurants. The tables are placed strategically around the square so you can enjoy a meal or glass of wine whilst taking in the ambience.

Sejarah Pos Malaysia bermula seawal tahun 1800-an dengan penubuhan perkhidmatan pos yang pertama di Negeri-negeri Selat (Pulau Pinang, Melaka dan Singapura) dan menjelang awal kurun ke-20, perkhidmatan pos meliputi seluruh Malaya.

Surat-surat kemudian disampaikan melalui penghantar surat atau utusan khas. Berbanding setem pos berbayar, bayaran perkhidmatan dikutip apabila surat-surat dihantar ke pejabat pos. Resit akan diberikan bagi surat-surat yang dipos.

Bagaimanapun sistem ini berubah apabila setem-setem India mempunyai cetakan mahkota dan setem-setem Selat cetakan dolar dan sen diperkenalkan pada 1867. Setem-setem pos berbayar pertama telah diperkenalkan pada 1901.

Bermula sebagai satu saluran penghantaran surat, dokumen surat khabar dan perniagaan, perkhidmatan pos kemudiannya berkembang menjadi pembekal perkhidmatan yang berganda. Ia mula menceburi ke dalam perkhidmatan penghantaran bungkusan, pendaftaran, insurans, urusniaga wang (Wang Pos dan Kiriman Pos) serta pelaburan dana (Simpanan Bank Pejabat Pos).

Perkhidmatan pos yang ketika itu dikenali sebagai Jabatan Perkhidmatan Pos, juga mula mengambil alih pelbagai perkhidmatan bagi pihak agensi-agensi kerajaan. Ia dimulakan dengan mengutip bayaran bil elektrik, jualan lesen anjing, bayaran pencen, jualan lesen televisyen dan sebagainya.

Setelah mencapai kemerdekaan pada 1957, Malaysia memulakan penyertaan secara aktif di dalam pertubuhan antarabangsa agar seiring dengan pembangunan sosial dan ekonomi. Antara lain, ia menjadi ahli Kesatuan Pos Sejagat (UPU) pada 17 Januari 1958, satu penyertaan di mana Malaysia menjadi ahli yang dinamik sehingga ke hari ini.

Setelah negara melangkah ke abad 21, perkhidmatan pos di Malaysia yang lebih dikenali sebagai Pos Malaysia Berhad terus berusaha untuk memenuhi permintaan dan keperluan pasaran dan tingkahlaku pelanggan yang sering berubah.

Awal tahun 1992, Pos Malaysia Berhad telah mencipta sejarah dengan membuat perubahan besar sejajar dengan kebebasan perniagaan. Dengan kebebasan, muncul pula satu cabaran yang lebih hebat. Berdepan dengan persaingan yang kompetitif, Pos Malaysia Berhad memulakan perjalanannya dengan mengukuhkan operasinya melalui pengasingan perniagaan yang terdiri daripada empat unit utama Perniagaan Strategik yang dinamakan PosMel, PosLaju, PosNiaga dan PosLogistik.

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

2009-07-16T11:49:00.036+08:00

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said,
"How do I know if I married the right person?"
I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It
depends. Is that your husband?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do
you know?"

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's
weighing on your mind.

Here's the answer.
EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with
your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked
their idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a
completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO
anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... Because it's
happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the
imagery of that __expression. It implies that you were just standing
there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But
after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the
natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls
become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when
it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute,
drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you
think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between
the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry
subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry
the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of
the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with
someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their
spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for
fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is
the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work,a hobby, a
friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It
lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with
someone else.

You could.

And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a
few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S
LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER
just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it
day in and day out. That's why we have the __expression "the labor of
love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly,
it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific
things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your
marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there
are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise
program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your
relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and
effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable. ..
you can "make"

love.

Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling.

Remember this always:

"God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who
you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go."

Renung-renungkan dan selamat beramal.... :)
